"The late Malcom X once stated that Black women in the United States have historically been under the greatest attack in our society. After practicing cardiology for more than 20 years, I have come to know firsthand that the greatest threat to our Black women has been heart disease. Heart disease is the number one killer of all United States citizens and Black women die the most. We are literally at war. However, we are blessed with brave warriors like Sherra Aguirre. In Joyful, Delicious, Vegan: Life Without Heart Disease, Sherra outlines a powerful, effective battle plan to defeat heart disease. This must-read book serves as both an inspiring health journey and a stepwise health guide for anyone battling heart disease or any other chronic illness.
